The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
4.0
This was hard for me to get into at first because I was a bit confused of the dates and places they were talking about. I was even a bit lost of what was going on because it took a while to mention bring up the topic of Slate, Nix's dad, wanting to go back to the time he met Nix's mom, Lin. But around the time they were in New York, things were starting to get interesting and I was enjoying my time soaking the story up.
The Girl from Everywhere revolved around pirates and time travel and while this isn't my first time reading one with a time travel concept, a book with pirates is definitely a first.
Kashmir was my favorite character here. His fun remarks were entertaining that I actually look forward everytime he has a scene. I love Nix too. She sounded like she's the only serious one in that ship that just wanted a life. Well there's also Bee and I love her too. Also Joss. What an interesting character.
Now for that ending.. (here lies my feelings but don't click if you haven't read this yet)I honestly thought Nix was going to go Navigating by herself or with Kash. She did have a point when she told her dad off that his addiction almost got them killed. And did I mention that I dislike her father? I mean there were times when he was being a "dad" to Nix but MANY TIMES did he just piss me off with how self-centered he is. Seriously, that shit he was talking about Kash, I wanted to jump in the book and fight him and protect Kash.. and of course, Nix.
Anyway, I get how Nix wanted to stay on board because it was ~h o m e~ but really, after all what she said, I just thought..
Oh well, whatever floats her boat. No pun intended.
Overall, this was a good pirate book that had lots of stuff (myths, places and what happened there during when) that were new facts for me. I has searched some of what were mentioned and I like learning new stuff from what I read. This is also adorable on the friendship side between Kash and Nix.

All I had collected were dust and costumes. I sighed. “Do you feel at home now?”
He met my eyes. “You help me to.”
